Mailchimp seems to have "Surveys" -- which are nicely integrated (so it is claimed!) with their own database, so that the subscriber gets updated/added in the audience as appropriate when a survey is filled, etc.
I have a client who is interested in using these but also would like to integrate the survey response data into Salesforce.
I tried looking into Mailchimp API reference and cannot find anything related to surveys. Ideally, it would be best if they were supported by the Webhooks, since that is the functionality the client is interested in, however, I am open to using polling-based method if that's the only way available.
Thank you in advance!!

I'm new to Xero API's and I'm trying to understand a thing.
In my Company we currently have various different “organisations” within Xero, and this number will be growing in the near future.
We also have a 3rd party web application we use for technical and management data – to which we now would like to add financial data, mostly in the form of exported Xero reports.
We had been looking at the API functionality – however as I understand it Xero is unable to grant a subset of permissions to API calls – i.e. anyone with API access would have the same level of access a standard user – so aside from being able to pull the reports we require, they would also have access to all other data, such as transactional data, account numbers, creation and deletion of invoices etc. etc. Please can you confirm whether this would be the case?
In short terms: we need to restrict the API calls to the reports only, is this possible?
If not, does Xero have a functionality where reports can be automatically exported to an external location – such as a cloud service or an FTP site or similar?
Many thanks in advance
You're correct. Once you connect an app to the API it has access to all the accounting endpoints. Payroll endpoints are the only ones that require additional scopes.
And no, unfortunately there's no way to schedule report exports either. Sorry!
I've looked briefly through Spotify's API documentation to try and see what exactly can be done with the API. I'm trying to do some data analysis on Spotify data, specifically on user listens / user playlists. However, as far as I can tell, the only way to uncover that information is through OAuth, and each user whose play information I desire would need to explicitly grant permission to my app to use their information. Since I am not building a user-facing app and am interested in doing mass analysis on many users at once, I don't think this would work for my purposes.
My question - is there any way to return multiple users' listening habits through a script that pulls data from Spotify using its API? Or is that possible strictly by way of an application that one user at a time gives authentication to when they load an app that uses this API?

Spotify doesn't expose users' listening habits unless they authorized the app requesting it (I think this is what you meant when you said "through OAuth"). There's pretty big privacy reasons for not exposing users' data to the world.
Since apparently you're not reachable for API questions via email, I guess I'd have to put all the questions in here since it would be tedious to create one for each of them.
So we're planning on creating a webhooks system for our integrations to create a better experience for our users. There are a few pieces that are missing for our end to support having a Podio integration that runs 100% on webhooks.
Support organization level webhooks instead at the space level.
Send full object payload in the webhooks push so we don't need to fetch the resource again. Or at least provide a delta of changes.
Have a secret token header that you send with each request so we can assure the authenticity of the data (that it's actually from Podio and it's not someone trying to hack our system).
Github does a great job with this: https://developer.github.com/webhooks/#delivery-headers.
Ability to unsubscribe from a webhook if the client revokes the OAuth credentials. Do you automatically delete that webhook or do we need to contact the user or you guys to get rid of it?
Trello for instance deletes all webhooks associated with a token if it's revoked or a second option is our server sends a 410 Gone back and the webhook, well you guessed it, it's gone.
Do you think something like this is feasible in the near future?
Thanks for your insights :)
Seems pretty valid point. Are there any particular org operations that you are interested to have webhooks for? Can you also describe some use-cases for org level webhooks?
Sending full object payload is pretty complicated because items in Podio can be extremely big and it might be not needed for webhook to get all details. That's why we keep it small and tiny and let Podio partners build own complicated solutions based on webhooks.
Secret token is not much needed if there is only item_id sent in webhook. Let's review it on item modified scenario.
1) User (or anything else) modifies item
2) item.modified webhook is triggered with item_id
3) 3rd party app receives webhook
4) 3rd party app makes a call to Podio API (if it's needed) and gets all required information from Podio API
So, if webhook request is fake, then Podio API will return same item details and nothing is affected. If you want to have some extra layer of security: why not making webhook URL unique and specific to webhook? Then only Podio will know which URL to use to trigger this webhook.

Sorry, but I don't understand your question. Can you please re-phrase it as new StackOverflow question?
I'm creating a tool for a person to login into their google+ account and to lists all communities they were created or joined. I had googling around for a day and read google+ api references, but I couldn't find any information on:
Url of the API for accessing user's created or joined comminities,
Request parameters to perform such query
My tool has already succeed to perform oauth login and get access_token and ready to make any API call, But now I'm stuck trying to find the right Url and requirements to perform the API call as I wanted.
Please help
There currently is no API method to do this. If you would like to see such a feature added, you can star this feature request.
I am planning to use facebook authentication for my application. I thought of using facebook account creation date to identify fake accounts. After extensive searching I retired without a solution.
So decided to read user posts to check if the user account existed for sometime, but using read_stream I could only get a user's feed, I would like to know by someway can I get only the user's post.
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/ see statuses connection.
Calling the Facebook API is a (relatively) slow operation; especially if you have to call it multiple times. So, when possible, it is a good idea to get the information you need, without making API calls.
You can take a look at http://metadatascience.com/2013/03/11/inferring-facebook-account-creation-date-from-facebook-user-id/. It explains how to figure out the creation date of a Facebook account without having to call the Facebook API, just based on the user’s Facebook UID.
